Title: Algebras of higher operads as enriched categories
Authors: Michael Batanin, Mark Weber

MSC: 18D20; 18D50

Abstract: We decribe the correspondence between normalised $\omega$-operads and certain lax monoidal structures on the category of globular sets. As with ordinary monoidal categories, one has a notion of category enriched in a lax monoidal category. Within the aforementioned correspondence, we provide also an equivalence between the algebras of a given normalised $\omega$-operad, and categories enriched in globular sets for the induced lax monoidal structure.
